C240Bsource checked
Molex documents Nano-Pitch I/O / OCuLink variants with multiple lane sizes and circuit counts, so V40 does not collapse OCuLink into one universal contact count.
E240 · No electrical assignment published
OCuLink SFF-8611 / SFF-8612 connector family engineering reference
Molex NPIO/OCuLink family spans multiple lane sizes and circuit counts; V40 intentionally does not publish one universal contact count.

How to read this profile
No universal OCuLink face-view numbering is published in V40; exact variant identification is required first.
Source-scoped identification facts
Each value retains its exact example, role and measurement axis. Facts from different parts must not be combined into an invented component.
| Contact rows | 2S242Named source examples retain separate role, part, view and axis limits; values are not a universal family specification. Named series only, not every family part: Molex Nano-Pitch I/O system.

Latch option is not proof of universal mating polarization. |

Unknown fields stay unknown; illustrations supply no measurements or pin assignments.
Recorded variant and source limits
- Exact OCuLink/NPIO lane count and circuit count must be identified from the specific variant; the family name alone is insufficient.
- No universal face-view numbering, fabrication geometry or protocol-generation guarantee is published.
- Passive/active latch options describe retention, not an actual polarization feature. Recorded source context: Cable-side passive or active latching options / null
Unknowns stay unknown.
- Exact OCuLink/NPIO lane count and circuit count must be identified from the specific variant; the family name alone is insufficient.
- No universal face-view numbering, fabrication geometry or protocol-generation guarantee is published.

Molex defines a 0.50 mm X-direction interstitial contact grid for its named NanoPitch families. Separate product and cable documents identify 173162 receptacles and the 1001531000 SFF-8611/OCuLink cable context. The grid is separate from spacing within a contact row.
